They need to be aggressive and competitive with NEW music. Sorry, but I'd love a "West Side Story" remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some talk when they did Mass that the rights deal was for two years. That sparked rumors WSS was to be the second year. But it never materialized. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup; there were "other things" that materialized during that time period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if there was a “second Bernstein show” with permissions given at the time. It’d show that it’s not impossible. Albeit I bet they’re particularly protective of WSS. I was hoping for a Candide show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A surefire ticket out of finals. Seriously, the idea that we should keep rehashing stuff from 40 years ago, that has already been rehashed twice - terrible. Why not bring some new and unique music and programming to the field, like SCV...and BD...and Crown...and Boston...

FTNK Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Here is the list of drum corps shows that have used West Side Story. It's 19 pages and goes back to 1959. http://www.dcxmuseum.org/index.cfm?view=search&song=West Side Story Plus every HS has probably done it 3 or 4 times. I did my freshman year. I think it's time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Ream Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 there's a way to create a "Cadets" show without rehashing past Cadets shows. what made some of the greats from the 80's and 90's great? new music not done on the field before, or at least at that level.
